A photogenic couple – Hideo Muraoka and Fatima Rabago tied the knot in beautiful Bali last November 2. The wedding photos shared through their Instagram accounts showed snippets of the couple’s intimate “I Do’s” at a luxurious villa with their adorable eight-year-old daughter Daniela who served as ring bearer.

The hunky Brazilian-Japanese model who shot to fame as a former Pinoy Big Brother housemate and the statuesque Spanish model and swimwear line owner met more than a decade ago in Thailand. They’ve chosen to live in the Philippines to raise their daughter and continue on with their lucrative careers in both print and ramp in the local fashion scene.
This small family unit loves to travel, so it was no surprise they chose Bali for the ceremony. Having been surrounded by people in the industry they work in at events, shoots or fashion shows prompted the couple to keep their wedding small and solemn. Apart from the couple and their daughter, they only had a photographer to document their special moment.

The Villa Chameleon in Bali – a modern tropical oasis that was featured in Elle Décor served as the perfect venue for the intimate wedding ceremony. Surrounded by lush greenery, the bride walked down the aisle wearing a form-fitting asymmetric beaded dress by a long-time friend – Rhett Eala. Clutching a modern bouquet of pampas, eucalyptus sprigs and roses, the bride looked radiant and glowing with her simple styling and barely-there makeup. The groom, on the other hand, looked relaxed yet polished in his white button-down cotton shirt and impeccably cut khaki trousers. Their daughter wore a white dress accessorized with a crown of cream and blush roses.

The wedding décor was also kept minimal with subtle shades of white, blush and beige from the modern floral arrangements to the accent candles. Everything was understated yet tasteful. Their no-frills wedding is a refreshing change from the grand and well-choreographed affairs we’ve seen in recent years.
Congratulations Hideo and Fatima!
